The Americas were not a wasteland from 900-1500. In fact, they
were a very vibrant place with civilizations spawning that still
leave an indelible mark on modern America, Mexico, and
Canada. While Byzantium was reaching its apex and falling to
the Ottoman Turks, the Americas were generating such amazing
civilizations as the Incas, the Aztecs, and the Mayas. From the
mound building peoples of Cahokia to the Pueblos of the
Southwest, the peoples of the Americas showed a real penchant
for advanced math and an affinity to the world around them. In
fact, when the Spanish came to Mexico in 1519, Cortes found a
city in Tenochtitlan that was larger than London! The Aztecs
and the Mayas had extremely accurate calendars, powerful
weapons, and able administrations. The Incas were said to
posses an army that was the equal to any Turkish army in the
1500s. The Aztecs had learned to weave mats and cover them
with dirt so that they could plant crops on lakes! Though the
Europeans would cross the Atlantic and destroy the civilizations
(either over time or immediately), the nations of American
natives left us many marks that prove that they too were very
advanced.
Please write 6 pages about the Aztecs and their empire, using at
least four secondary sources and one primary source (written or
made at the time of the society you are researching). Make sure
that you use a real style-guide (APA, MLA, Chicago, or
Turabian) for your citations.
